dle our competencies in four independent business units:

SOLIDWEAvE (industrial mesh), WEAvE IN MOtION (pro-

cess belt mesh), CrEAtIvEWEAvE (architectural mesh) and

COMPACtFILTRATION (compact filtration systems). With this

broad range of expertise and the virtually unlimited array of

potential applications of our solutions, we cover an extraordi-

narily large range of industry sectors, including the automotive,

chemical, electronics, woodworking, foodstuffs, paper, phar-

maceutical and textile industries as well as mining, aerospace,

medical technology, environmental technology or architecture

and design.

We consolidate our leading role with continuous, high invest-

ments in new technologies. Whether fine filter mesh with pore

sizes of five thousandths of a millimetre made of wires as thin

as 14 thousandths of a millimetre or robust process and archi-

tectural mesh with wire thicknesses of five millimetres, solu-

tions tailored to the customer‘s processes are our trademark.

We achieve this by using the latest simulation technologies and

manufacturing procedures right through to cleanroom stand-

ards. We work together with renowned research establish-

ments for bringing innovations quickly and efficiently to market.

Moreover, we make a reliable contribution to our customers‘

success through our focus on continuous further development.

04|05 WOvEN STRUCTURES FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

GKD SOLIDWEAvE develops and produces precision mesh and filtration systems on the basis of metals, polymers and other

high-performance materials. Innovative technologies, creative ideas and the courage to try out new solutions are behind

the success of our filtration media in the field of mechanical process engineering. Our understanding of maximum customer

benefit is rounded off by fast implementation and cost leadership. As a technological leader, we continuously develop our

products in accordance with customer requirements and market trends. the high innovation rate is compelling evidence of our

comprehensive laboratory and process expertise: the majority of our products are less than five years old.

Our filter media are considered especially efficient and economi-

cal – regardless of whether they are intended for universally

deployable products, components for series manufacturing or

complex individual solutions. With our own simulation methods

and testing techniques, we integrate these filter media seam-

lessly into the customer‘s process.

Our developments are acknowledged across all industries

as standards for many industrial applications. Electronics

manufacturers use our filters in inkjet printers or as shielding

against electromagnetic radiation. The automotive industry

uses our meshes for diesel particulate filtration, in exhaust gas

aftertreatment and in hydraulic systems. Ship chandlers use

them for ballast water filtration. In the aerospace industry, our

meshes are used in lightning protection applications or for noise

insulation of jet engines.

The chemical, pharmaceutical, plastics and foodstuffs industries

place their trust in our meshes for demanding filtration tasks.

And in the energy and environmental technology sectors, too,

they have become successfully established.

We work together with machine manufacturers to develop

standard modules or special solutions. With expertise across a

range of applications, ready-to-install belts and outstanding ser-

vice, we offer our customers a high degree of added value from

the very first planning phase.

Our belts are proven in drainage, compression and filtration as

well as embossing, cooling, freezing and drying, forming and

washing applications. Manufacturers of glass nonwovens, nap-

pies, mineral fibres, chipboard and fibre board, corrugated card-

board and foodstuffs use our metal belts in numerous pressing,

embossing and temperature-controlled processes.

Our belts with anti-electrostatic properties or anti-stick coating

optimise the production of nonwovens. Furthermore, the anti-

static belts also efficiently facilitate the drying of wood chip-

pings or biomass. For the production of insulating material or

phosphoric acid, our robust composite meshes have proven

themselves time and again. Our plastic belts impress in the fields

of sludge dewatering, gypsum filtration in flue gas desulphurisa-

tion plants and in the fruit juice- and nonwovens-industries.

We combine our broad product spectrum and wealth of exper-

tise in our role as a system supplier. We support architects and

planners from the initial idea right through to the finished pro-

ject, all from a single source – with customer-specific individual

solutions or our own systems.

Through complex, seemingly contradictory impressions and

properties, our metallic meshes open up a new world of design

time and again – in the interplay between aesthetics and func-

tion, lightness and robustness, transparency and reflection,

screening and view, daylight and sun protection, climate control

membrane and weather protection, low maintenance and dura-

bility, intrinsic effect and media display or elegance and acous-

tics. They optimise the environmental performance of buildings

and are thereby gaining in importance for the future of building

and Green Building certification. In public buildings, commerce

and property construction, they lend design ideas and function-

al requirements an unmistakable face.

GKD CompaCtFILTRATION combines our many years of expertise in filter elements with innovative process engineering. With

the compact MAXFLOW concept, we have successfully established a new generation of filters for the treatment of coolants

and process fluids. the backflushable systems work without filter additives. three unit types bring about a measurable increase

in the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of central processes – in the metalworking industry as well as in many other industrial

applications in which the cleanliness of work media and process fluids plays a key role in system performance.

MAxFLOW filtration systems can be applied flexibly and can

even be subsequently integrated into processes already in place

at the customers, thus allowing the capacity of existing central

systems to be expanded in a cost-effective way while at the

same time saving space. We match each installation precisely to

the respective treatment process – from design and manufac-

ture right through to implementation.

The compact filtration systems with automated backflush-

ing filter combine filtration and briquetting in a single system.

Separation limits into the microfiltration range make them ideal

for applications with the toughest demands regarding surface

quality and tolerances.

Our belt filter systems with self-cleaning stainless steel continu-

ous belt are economical and user-friendly solutions for many

grinding processes.

Thanks to filter additive-free filtration, all MAxFLOW systems

reduce the workload and cost associated with procurement and

disposal while at the same time reducing the dispersal of pro-

cess media. This makes our system the benchmark in terms of

operating costs and environmental friendliness.
